My friend had to go to a pub to see the South Africa match live. Sometimes going to a particular pub, they get live feeds, but it depends.
I got some email from a rugby club about the scientific analyis that the Wallabies will win. But poisoning food?? But oh the horror about the pre-game training that went on in South Africa...
Who knew rugby was so down and dirty? Think I will go back to cricket....

Intresting. England has been installed as 4 pt favorites by rugbyrugby.com. They've won in every one of THe BIg 3's back yards this year, but that wasn't a championship match in enemy territory. I think the pommies are 6 point dogs if you're a betting man.
The Food-Poisoning Incident involved NZ losing to SA in the 1995 RWC Final and claiming that a Southie Gambling syndicate poisoned their pre-game meal to make them sick on game day.
SA did have an 'interesting' pre-match camp. It sure didn't help them with either the pommies or the All Blacks.

But just to be safe, don't bet on it in post-Hansie-Cronje South Africa.
